Osmania University Develops Indigenous Microchip, Set For Release In Six Months
Osmania University's College of Engineering has developed a 'Frequency Synthesizer' microchip to enhance electronics and vehicles.
  Hyderabad:Â
The Frequency Synthesizer microchip enhances the internal efficiency of vehicles, digital equipment, and other electronic devices. Professor Chandrasekhar described it as a game changer for automobile and electronics industries, stating that once the chip receives Central Government approval, it will showcase India’s semiconductor capabilities on a global scale.
 In a significant breakthrough, Osmania University’s College of Engineering is set to launch an indigenous microchip within the next six months. Named 'Frequency Synthesizer', the chip has been developed by Professor Chandrasekhar, Head of the Electronics Department, along with research students. The project is funded by the Central Government’s ‘Chips to Startup’ scheme, with a Rs 5 crore grant.
Developed in collaboration with research students from a private engineering college in Hyderabad, this project is a step toward India’s self-reliance in semiconductor technology. The chip will operate with Bluetooth technology and could revolutionize various industries once it becomes commercially available.
"The microchip designed to increase the internal efficiency of vehicles, equipment, and other digital-mode devices is almost complete," Professor Chandrasekhar, Principal of OU Engineering College, said. "Frequency Synthesizer chips will be a game changer in automobile and electronics design. Once they enter the market following the central government's approval, they will showcase India's potential in semiconductor technology to the world."
Scientists recently conducted thermal analysis tests at the Semiconductor Laboratory (SEL) in Chandigarh to evaluate the efficiency of the chip. The tests confirmed that the circuit within the microchip is functioning properly. The next phase involves time analysis and acoustic signal testing before mass production and official approval.
